Hey tree. There's a GPAA claim in Bautista canyon, just after you pass the prison, and before you cross the first little creek.

in Bautista canyon, just after you pass the prison, and before you cross the first little creek. It's on the left.

take florida e to fairview and turn south on fairview, the road will eventually Y. Take the left fork of the Y and follow it. It will turn to dirt after the prison.

I think there is a club out there in the 29 palms area might want to look into that. There is an old mining district just north of Joshua tree, new dale or old dale something like that. ( I think ) Went out there nugget shooting once with my brother. All we found was buttons and bullets but I saw several other people out there with a MD.

and most of that area is dry so metal detector or dry washer will work best. Probably need to have a recirculating high banker setup to use a sluice.

And remember you can't go Into national parks like Joshua tree with a metal detector in your car or you will get in big trouble. Stupid I know but that's what I have herd will happen.

I'm most interested in nugget shooting and placer mining with sluice. I'm new to it all and need some good mentoring on it all. I've got a Tesoro LST and a sluice and like four pans and a jeep ha ha Thanks!

did you join the first class?
